An article in The Morning Call said the Trump administration expects a 7-degree rise in temperature by 2100 and that the planet’s fate is sealed.

First, I had to laugh a little because it reminded me of what comedian George Carlin had to say how the planet has been here 4 billion years and has been through earthquakes, tornadoes, magnetic pole reversals, etc.

The planets are not going anywhere. We are. The planet will cleanse itself long after we’re gone.
